You'll have less dragging & work to do if you give the winner an option to buy the existing battery bank( or supply a replacement for you) since all the cabling is already custom done. A win-win option.

Hi there. I owned and sailed my own 30 footer in my 20's. Moved ashore to raise kids and now I'm busy working towards my next boat. As a professional boat builder with 30yrs building and restoring yachts behind me, Freebie would find a loving home with me. I'd love to hear more from you guys

Super awesome my friend in giving your boat away to a deserving person!! I actually made a video in hopes of being that lucky person but after reading some comments I realized this is a HUGE commitment and obviously some unknown cost in getting her ready! I've never owned a sailboat but have dreamed of it! I live in what is know as Canada's sailing playground, Nova Scotia and thought how fitting to bring your baby north and sail her along the thousands of miles of breath taking coastal inlets, coves and prestine open ocean! I've decided "not" to submit my entry as I have the desire, financial resources but actual experience of working on a boat, big fat zero!! I wish all the best to the lucky winner!! I'm excited to see who gets picked!!

I really wish that I had seen this video a few months ago. However, I was still in Japan at the time working and hadn't yet learned of your channel. Following your build on your first boat and then on Freebie, I was very impressed with the amount of work you both wanted to do and the number of skills you built for yourself. I have since begun searching for my own boat to begin sailing and have been following you, Sailing Uma, Sailing Project Atticus, Sailing Kittiwake, etc and seeing the amount of work that can often go into a rebuild/refit is helping me to understand what I have to look forward to. If I had seen this video I would have told you that it has been my lifelong dream to own a sailboat, raise the anchor, and stay out for as long as I can between coming into shore. I grew up with the ocean and I love being on the water, yet my life has always kept me on land and my travels have always been through driving or flying. I look to change that this year. I am currently looking at two models; a '79 Pearson 35 like Uma and '79 Tayana 37 like Sku (Sailing Kittiwake). Your boat would have been a perfect start to a beautiful journey and I would have put as much time and dedication into the refit as you have or more to make her a boat of your dreams. Alas, I missed this opportunity. Hopefully, I can one day find a free or inexpensive starter to begin my journey with. The Pearson is currently my cheaper option at 17k, but that is a lot upfront. I look forward to seeing what your next boat will be, although I am sad to hear that you are looking at more of a production model with little upgrades needed (maybe) as I think that the whole process of owning a house, car, boat, plane, whatever, is to make it yours in all aspects. To put your designs and dreams into it and make it your space. Until then, and until I arrive at my own boat, Fair Winds and Following Seas. Stay Salty. PS. I really love the concept of electric drive and how you put it, not having to go to shore until you absolutely had to. :-) Cheers!

Sailing have been my lifetime dream, as my kids can tell you, but having a family and working long hours to keep a roof over our heads, had kept my dreams of sailing on hold, I’m 62 years old now, but I’m still fit, I would love to get Freebie, and make my dreams come true. I would finish what you started, to make Freebie into a great sailing ship. That’ll make my dream come true.

If only I was ready to take on a new adventure.... I might just consider it. As a woodworker and Jack of all Trades.... I've done a refit before - 1976 C&C 24, Maya was her name. Did a bunch of Fiberglass, Hull, keel to hull connection and rudder repair, reupholstering inside / outside cusions, all the wood refinishing / repair - sinks, glass, seals, top and bottom paint - even built a cradle for her to sit outside in our yard in Iowa over the winter. The following year I solo sailed her down the big muddy to the gulf. I now live in Ft. Myers, not to far away lol. She was a heck of a project and she looked and faired better than new when all was done. From someone with the experience, I can tell you - it's all worth it, if either the boat is worth it, or the experience is worth it. In this case - it'd be the experience. Honestly, even though things look a bit rough around the edges, there really isn't that much left to be done so far as I can see. That said, I'd have to look up the data on this boat to be sure it'd be worth the effort - the C&C I worked on had a solid 1/2"-5/8" or better of glass on the hull at the waterline - some of these boats from the 70's only had 3/8" which was barely sufficient then and less so today for anything more than a day sail...

Sort of saw this coming, but still understand how hard of a decision this must be. Boat ownership is a passion and not based in any kind of financial common sense. I'm saying this as a sailboat owner for 40 years. Salute you guys for taking a step back, assessing what your long term vision is for your sailing life, and re-calibrating how you are going to get there. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking the "traditional" route and working and saving to buy your way in to something that will help you realize your dreams. And the experience you gained in the time you worked on and sailed Freebie will serve you well in the future. Now, as for the giveaway, please be responsible to your pool of potential beneficiaries and make sure you are giving them a realistic picture of what they are in for. They are going to be stepping into some immediate costs to either continue storing/mooring the boat or moving it to a cheaper inland storage location. Then there is the question of replacing the batteries to maintain the electric propulsion or convert back to diesel. Then there will be the expense side of the DIY work (materials and equipment/fixtures for a boat are not cheap) and of course, the the large time investment. And in the end, they will have put way more money into the project than they could ever hope to recoup financially. Finally, there will be the time investment to commit to documenting this on video as you guys are all too familiar with. Make sure you are not setting someone up in a situation they are going to regret later. In any case, good luck to everyone involved and remember, a boat is hole in the water into which one throws money (and time). But we still choose to do it anyway because it is our passion.

No regrets, but life is short, don't wait that long. 2) Buy the best boat you can afford cash and don't do a project boat, life is too valuable to spent it in a boat yard. Get a good boat yes, but one you can use sooner than later.

We are interested in your vessel, Freebee. Presently we have a 1984 30+ Ericson. We actually went the opposite of what you did and overpaid for what we thought we were getting. It took us two years of hard work to get it to about 60% of what it could be. Because of our age (both my wife and I are in our 70s), health restrictions and over active expectations, we got about 1/3 of America’s Great Loop completed before “hitting the wall of reality”. We completed 1600 miles from Huron, Ohio on Lake Erie to Columbus, Mississippi in about 4 months on the inland waterways (not exactly favorable conditions for a SV with a 5’10” draft. We don’t regret the effort or the experience it brought but realize we’d rather be doing the Caribbean than continuing on the Loop. Looking at what you’ve done with your vessel and what’s still left, we’d love to change hands on vessels and extend our old vessel BEATITUDES in the FREEBIE style you did. Thanks for the consideration and potential opportunity. Bruce and Nan Vining

I would jump all over a project like this..years ago. However, with a mortgage, family of 4, and the daily grind, don't think I could ever finish this project, much less afford to store it. Guess I'll just stick with my little 17' "pocket yacht"( which I've refitted with the creature comforts of a large yacht ). Cheap to store and maintain. I know a little about what's involved. I've restored several (much)smaller boats. Brought a couple back from the dead. This is a monster

You guys have done so much work, I've followed it all, but I could tell you both wanted something a little bigger. She is beautiful and well cared for (all boats are a work in progress) I wish she were mine. I have two small children here in Nova Scotia and we are on the water every chance we get in my cousins 24' paceship. She's small but still a great experience . It would be a dream to one day have a boat of our own. Please keep making content of your next adventure , I look forward to watching.

Smart move guys but I would consider selling the battery's unless you already have a boat lined up

im sure any body looking at Freebie should be able to buy the batteries from them , if you don't have the cash to do than then you cant afford this boat!

You two have a lot of living to do. It’s a shame you are moving on without Freebee after all the work and adverse living conditions you put up with while performing the refit. But life goes on and changes in your life’s direction is something that will always be occurring. My best to you both and look forward to seeing what your next project or adventure will be.
